Those who have been involved in missionary work understand the dual aspects of these blessings. Ammon declares the conversion of so many Lamanites, which was a great and perhaps unexpected success of their missionary endeavors. In addition to the Lamanites’ spiritual transformation, however, he also comments on blessings to the missionaries themselves. Missionary work always involves two parties: teacher and learner. In God’s wisdom, both parties also receive blessings from the process.
